Yes, you can see traits of evolution in all of the organisms. I loved that aspect of it. It wasn’t random fantasy, everything was set in biological rules. Also, fungi played a large role on Vesta and fungi are known to connect organisms together through networks. It gave some rationale to the resurrection of Levi.

at the start of the video you describe Vesta as, among other things "lacking in artificiality". However as a biologists I got an intense feeling that the ecosystem is artificialy designed. Vesta is clearly a gaia world and may itself be designing the creatures but it's very clear that few things here are the product of natural evolution. In essence the world feels like biology based technology without the chaos of nature

Scavengers Reign for me is one of those stories and settings that comes along and pops the bubble of cynicism that grows as fiction writers disrespect your capacity to take in what they really want to create. Not that there isn't genuine wonder in others between it, but compromise is built into so many settings and stories to make them accessible, and every now and then a group just lets their world run wild in a literal sense and makes a place you might genuinely yearn to inhabit - danger, horror, and all.

Maybe its just how alien and hostile it is to the outsider but Vesta has always felt like a realistic deathworld. You won't find anything like this on earth and the way characters talk about it, it does feel like the "hostility" of its nature is very feared or atleast well known. Its not some over the top deathtrap like something 40K would portray as a deathworld but its still very hostile to the point where it does truly feel like it would have a pretty low survival rate if you aren't properly equiped to deal with it.

I didn't watch it while it was on Max, I binged it last night on Netflix and it's by far one of my favorite things I've seen in recent memory, the ecology and worldbuilding is so unsettling and fascinating, loved it the whole way through.

I love the way you described the world as playing by its own rules indifferent the humans, and the only way they can survive is by working with it, rather than against it One great example of this that comes to mind is when Azi is seen riding with the herd and gets bumped around by them until she sees how they signal each other that they're about to move and starts moving with them

Reminds me of Wayne Barlow's Darwin IV, featured in his book Expedition and later a mockumentary called Alien Planet. The book lets you travel across the lense of an expedition log and sketches of the main character who is pretty much the author himself on a human-alien expedition to the planet. Alien Planet appears like a documentary where we follow a robotic mission to the planet. What makes Darwin IV even more unique is how different from Earth it is: it's Mars sized, has almost no liquid water expanses and orbits an orange dwarf star. A giant "carpet" of a jello like mass covers the world's only ocean, walked on by giant creatures that feed through their feet. Clicking theropod-like blind predators run across the dry landscape chasing large preys with two legs places one in front of each other. Tiny rainbow colored arrow like creatures fleet en-masse across low vegetation. There is a huge range of creatures and ecosystems not just unique but adapted to the world's rules, different than what we have on Earth.

THE MOST UNIQUE WORLDBUILDING EVER. I WAS SO INVESTED that I made my own collection of photos of the flora and fauna and have them all my own names. My favorite is glugslugs, the white slug-like creature that eats fruits.

Actually the behavior of the “horselike” animals is actually more similar to lantern fish which exist in unfathomably large schools and use their signature light to communicate with their school. Coordinating exceptionally well.

You forgot to dig a little more on the world building. These guys definitely were inspired by Brazilian artist Léo (Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira) and his comic series Worlds of Aldebaran. I didn’t know about this at first, but since I became a fan of this, I had to do more research and found in Reddit about this artist. Many of the plants and animals depicted in Scavengers Reign are nearly identical. The creators really did a great job adding their influences (including the line drawing style of Moebius). It thankfully got picked up by Netflix nd we’re hoping more people see it to get the second season it deserves.

YES

While it is very unique and interesting, just about everything feels, ironically, unnatural. Nothing in Scavengers Reign feels like it's actually part of an ecosystem, it's all very clearly invented. Every interspecies relationship in the show is very isolated, with there being at most like three different organisms in a given food chain. If you look at Earth ecosystems, you have very complex food webs that incorporate many different ecological niches. Speaking of niches, there's no competition to fill them in SR. There's no competition at all, really. Every organism feels like it was purpose-built to fit a specific role and to relate to one or two other organisms. You could argue that we just don't see enough of the ecosystem. Ok, but why? If the point of the worldbuilding is to establish an alien ecosystem (or multiple), we should be shown that ecosystem in enough depth. Maybe the intent is to show humans in a completely unfamiliar world. Could be more likely, but then what was the point of coming up with all the incredibly interesting ideas we see in the show? Certainly not to build a true ecosystem. What if none of the biological concepts we know apply to the world in SR? That very clearly isn't the case, as we are repeatedly shown interspecies relationships that mimic Earth ecology. Does the massive diversity without explanation foster a sense of discovery? Maybe at first, but the world is never explored in enough depth to really discover anything beyond the superficial. It's mostly a backdrop. That "feeling like a rube goldberg machine" is honestly a negative when you're building something as massively complex as an ecosystem. It's not just "one creature affects the next affects the next," a true ecosystem is "one creature creates habitat features while it gets food, which affects every organism that lives in that habitat, which supports a different complex web of species, all the while the original creature affects several predator and prey species at once." If you took a piece out of the ecosystems in SR, the entire machine would implode. The defining trait of an ecosystem, however, is being able to fill that gap because of biodiversity within niches. Without that, there is no resilience to outside pressure. That's what really puts the last nail in the coffin of the believability of SR from a biological/ecological perspective, there is no outside pressure. Everything we see functions as a perfect system, clean and efficient. That's not how nature works, real nature is messy. Organisms in nature compete to survive, while everything in SR exists as it is with no threats besides the humans. Those humans shouldn't be the only source of environmental pressure. Evolution is driven by that pressure, which creates related species in phylogenies. That is totally absent here. Overall, SR presents a wide variety of interesting, creative ideas that use their weirdness to distract from the lack of total interconnectedness inherent to a true ecosystem. The show is great, as the world doesn't need to be that complex in all aspects in order to support the story being told, but it's quite the stretch to call it something akin to "the best worldbuilding." It wows with how fascinating everything is, but doesn't hold up when you use a reference frame of actual ecology, phylogeny, and biology.

As with the majority of world building it has been built specifically to fit the story they wanted to tell. The best ones trick you into thinking that everything has been mapped out, and trusting that the stuff we can’t see is there and will make sense. The creators have gone to great effort to make what is seen appear to make sense in its isolated bubble. It doesn’t need to show the ecosystem in broader details because the only parts that matter are the parts specifically designed to cause conflict. I do agree that there is a lot of hyperbole in display here regarding this show.

And using animals as tools... how many terrestrial animals can you use as a specialised tool?

Anyways, good video though, I believe you have a good amount of potential

i respect your hustle but the editing looks fine to me. i like how lowkey it is, the visuals match the narration, and this is more of a listenable type of video anyway. nothing stood out to me as amateur id reccomend reaching out to channels that are monetized already

@@foogriffy Yeah ik, but there are definitely certain things that can be improved. There's nothing in this world that can't be lol, but I never called it amateur, I just said I can make it better. Anyways, I will try out some Monetized creators, see if I get hired by another dude, I already work for someone but hey the Hustle is real.

I'll be honest with you, when I first heard about the concept of the show, it was right up my alley. But when I watch the show, besides how insipidly annoying every single character was besides the robot, I found the World building childishly convenient. Poison in one scene, no problem the plant in the next scene fixes it. Cliff that you need to circumvent, no problem, there's an animal right there that can turn into a parachute. Need a backpack? The plant in the next scene can become a backpack, on and on. It felt like a world design for a show about humans surviving, not a world that was alien, that humans happened to stumble upon.

Bro just discovered a genre called Speculative Ecology. Like seriously this type of World Building isn't unique you can find it in deviant art after like 2 minutes

Why cant i cancel subtitles??? You did something? If so undo it please!!

No, I didn't do anything with it. You have the option to turn it off or on as usual!

Someone got paid by netflix to make this.
